This is a very large, sprawling, beautiful cemetery. There is a large driveway sign which is supported by brick columns. A flag pole is located next to the entrance, as is a sign regarding the cemetery rules, and lastly a stone marker designating that Colonel James J. Gathings donated the land for the cemetery as well as being the founder of Covington, Texas. The cemetery is fenced most of the way with low brick walls, there is a section of piping used over a drainage area. Most every plot is surrounded by curbing and many are covered with stone/gravel. The land is very clean and contains a large assortment of trees and benches. A various assortment of statues are located within the cemetery and a large pavilion (with seating) is located in the back right corner. Many older and massive headstones are found on this property. This burial ground has the largest collection of different varieties of antique fencing I have ever witnessed. A little humor is noted at the front gate where a "one way sign" is installed to direct traffic to the right. In 2020 there were 2,108 documented burials.
